Adults with psoriatic arthritis who complete a program of high-intensity interval training maintain improved cardiovascular fitness for at least six months after stopping the supervised sessions, suggesting the training causes lasting changes in how efficiently the body uses oxygen.

Similar Assertions

Adults with psoriatic arthritis who do high-intensity interval training three times a week for 11 weeks show a measurable improvement in their cardiorespiratory fitness, measured as increased VO2max, which remains elevated after nine months and is linked to lower cardiovascular risk.

For adults with psoriatic arthritis, high-intensity interval training does not lead to higher levels of inflammation or joint swelling as measured by standard clinical markers.
